Pumpkin Margarita Recipe for Blender

This Pumpkin Margarita Recipe is simple and quick to make, requiring only a few ingredients, and a high-speed blender! It’s full of all of the flavors of fall, without all of the sugar and dairy found in the oh-so-popular PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte).

It’s also one of those rare fall drinks that is actually cold. This is especially great for those of us living in hot southern climates! Oh! And that vibrant orange color you see? That comes from real pumpkin, not artificial dyes like most margaritas contain. This really is a clean, whole foods cocktail!

What Makes this Pumpkin Margarita a Clean Cocktail?

Here at Clean Cuisine, we’re pretty straight forward about what we consider clean. For the most part, our requirements are to only consume “real” food that isn’t loaded down with preservatives, refined sugars, and artificial ingredients. We love transparency, and knowing exactly what we’re putting into our bodies. The more natural and nutrient-dense state the food is in, the better!

I’m not saying I would replace my mid-afternoon green smoothie with a Pumpkin Margarita, but there are definitely worse things you could drink.

So what exactly makes this Pumpkin Margarita Recipe for Blender so healthy? Well, there are a few things actually! Let’s break it down…

No Refined Sugar

This pumpkin margarita recipe is sweetened only with “whole food” dates. No artificial sweeteners, no cane sugar, and most definitely no high fructose corn syrup like you would find in most margaritas.

Dates, on the other hand are high in fiber, filled with antioxidants, great for gut health, and more!They also just so happen to make a fantastic sweetener, and blend up perfectly smooth in our Pumpkin Margarita Recipe.

No Added Juice

A lot of “clean cocktail” recipes use 100% juice as an ingredient, but unless it is made from the “whole” fruit, juice is a refined ingredient. Your b ody handles the sugar in juice very differently than the sugar from “whole” fruit.

Juice is most definitely not the worst thing in the world, and does have some health benefits, but as an overarching rule, whole fruit is always best! This is why we have so many smoothie recipes on Clean Cuisine, and no juice recipes without whole fruit (except for those with lemon or lime juice which contain very little sugar).

Rich in Antioxidants

Thanks to the addition of nutrient-rich pumpkin puree and dates, this cocktail has beta carotene and polyphenols. It even has fiber too! The more antioxidants, the better, and this Margarita Recipe for Blender has plenty to pass around.
